After searching again and again with no luck of finding battery powered, steam outline locomotives in 16mm scale, I finally decided to try this so called "scratch building". I had it planned out: I would use a ready available chassis kit and scratch build the body.. But what to make it from.. Why of course! Anything! So I set to work and came up with exactly the locomotive I wanted; a narrow gauge locomotive based around the Talyllyn Railway's famous Talyllyn. All that was left was to paint it in the livery of my choice and edge it! How great is that? But I thought to myself.. "Why not share this with the world?"

And thus Tywyn Works was born! We create rolling stock and model engines that are battery powered and are either 32mm or 45mm gauge. The models are totaly customizable to fit the customers orders.
